WE DEMAND MORE OF A SNEAK PEAK. APPEASE US.

I got sick, so I'm afraid this thing is just gonna have to wait.

Plus, I "upgraded" to a new Mac and a newer version of Photoshop, only to discover it's an entirely WORSE experience than using my old workstation with my old Photoshop 7.

So being sick plus having technical setbacks means I'm slacking on you again. Sorry, folks.

But...but...but the comic is supposed to come out today...Where is the comic? Where is the happy? Where is the laughter? WHY CAN'T I HEAR THE LAUGHTER ANYMORE!? NOOOO! SAPCEMAN!!! COME BACK TO ME SAPCEMAN!!!

Must be the nasty smoke from the Robokitty factory in the above pic. It got to him! Now the smoke's coming straight for us, aaargh!

I know, I know. It's hard to read. Here's a bigger version:

These comics get more detailed and the lines get cleaner all the time. Improved skill and honing or over exertion to our BHOTU chronicler?

At long last, my jones has been allayed. Thank you, kind sir.

WE HAVE BEEN APPEASED.

COLOR!!!

Oooh nice! Lol @the last point.

There is color! haha. Very clever. That tuna orchard is precious

Just thought I'd share this piece of (totally fabricated) correspondence that my co-worker Jonathan Whittaker just sent me. It's a treat.

Subject: Possible Copyright Infringement

Mr. Nagler,

I found your e-mail address online in an article regarding a copyright infringement lawsuit against an online game developer. I am writing to inform you of a possible copyright infringement in an online comic that is certainly not family friendly and could reflect negatively on the Candy Land name. You can find the concerning page at http://sapceman.com/issue/59.

I played Candy Land with my parents and grandparents throughout my childhood, and I'd hate to see those images tarnished. Thank you for taking the time to review this matter.
Sincerely,

Jonathan Whittaker

Dear Sir:
Thank you for calling our attention to a possible copyright infringement of Hasbro's Candy Land board game. Hasbro has an obligation to act appropriately against infringement of our intellectual properties. We view all possible infringement seriously and believe that the use of a likeness of the Candy Land board on the Sapceman website (http://sapceman.com) is a clear and blatant infringement of our Candy Land intellectual property.

My staff will further review this case to determine whether we should pursue legal action in accordance with the interests of our shareholders and the integrity of the Candy Land brand.

Regards,

Barry Nagler
Hasbro General Counsel

Take the lasers to Hasbro. THE LAZORZ!!!!

Fear not, Sapcecadets! We hear at Sapceman Consolidated Industries have summoned forth the finest legal minds this side of Bob Loblaw's Law Blog to combat this assault with the deadly lasers of Standard Legal Protocol! Presenting the Sapceman Hyperlegal Defense Squadron!

First, Montague Q. Hutz, attorney to the stars (and I mean actual flaming balls of gas stars, not crap-ass celebrities!)!

B. Hercules Zuckercorn, famed mob lawyer for the interstellar crime syndicate BadCatz, Inc.!

Batting third, Elizondo Matlock, noted for his famed "hung jury" technique, wherein he actually hangs one member of the jury per hour until there is a unanimous decision in favor of his clients!

And Salvitore Murdock on bass!

So you can see, they will leave no legal stone unturned in our defense (and in many cases, they will proceed to hurl the aforementioned stones at the plaintiff's cars, free of charge!)! Remember, in our neck of the Galaxy, WE ARE THE LAW.

I AM THE LAW. And all I can say is "WOW" to the arwork and writing of this episode! Surrender and prepare to be judged! And that judgment is "FABULOUS"! (who knew Judge Dredd was gay?)

I just now found time to look at it in larger size - and I had totally missed the little kitty contributing to the hairball canyon. Awesome! :)
